Nick Gonzales’s 12th-inning RBI single propelled the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Monday night, ending Pittsburgh’s three-game losing streak. The Pirates, who were recently swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers, secured their 11th win in 31 games.
Esmerlyn Valdez hit a home run for the Pirates, and Rafael Flores Jr. contributed with an RBI double in the sixth inning. These offensive plays helped establish an early lead for Pittsburgh.
The Padres attempted a late comeback, with Jake Cronenworth tying the game 2-2 in the eighth inning with a two-out RBI single. However, their efforts were not enough to overcome Gonzales’s game-winning hit in the 12th. The Padres’ three-game winning streak was halted with the loss.
The game concluded with the Pirates rebounding from their series defeat at Dodger Stadium, demonstrating their resilience despite a challenging start to the season with only 11 wins in 31 games played.
